GF XFX FX 5200 256Mb AGP 8x Volt Mod

[Xero (1)ne]

Long time no see. As the name suggests, I need a volt mod for my card. I put an old Athlon XP cooler on there with a 7,000rpm fan. Going to put ramsinks on once i volt mod it.

I have searched all over google for one but only came up with dead links.

Also, would a bios mod work fine?


I know the FX series is a bad mark on Nvidia's record, but mine performed well enough, it almost played oblivion! This is more for just awesomness rather then actuall use.

Tyle, I've already done volt mods via the BIOS, but you can only go so much higher without needing an extra external power source. (What I needed)

Well it doesn't really matter anymore as the card died at my friends house. It appears that a couple of the caps that led to the memory melted off. :ahhhhh:

As I didn't feel like reviving it and putting it through more hell, me and my friend took a sword to it.... May it rest in peace...

No matter what anyone says about the FX series, I loved my card dearly and it served me very well...

Mods, you can nuke this thread.
